Chapter 51: Birthday Present.

Aster had returned to the HP verse but he did not replace his clone working for Amelia, he was already busy rebuilding his castle and the garden he made from scratch, it was something really special for him, each blade of grass and every petal of the flowers were made by Aster himself from crystal ice.

The plants he made had life and yet they were made of ice, they did not need soil as they absorbed magic from the snow made by Aster. Every plant and tree was meticulously crafted by Aster and now it was all shards and rubble, all he could do was sigh and work on it again.

Madoka who saw this from the castle sighed as well, and flashed towards him, "come on, let's make one better than the last one, but before that, it's the date for the last task for the Tri-Wizard Tournament and I don't think you want to miss that, right?" she playfully slapped his back and tried to cheer him up.

"Well, let's just do that..." Aster smiled.

"Oh, and the 10-tail core gave me some nifty abilities, and now I can use all the chakra attributes without exception, I really want to meet that brat Onoki and give him a nice thrashing after rubbing my dust release in his face." She chuckled at the thought.

"So, you can also use the ice release from the Yuki clan?" Aster asked with surprise.

"Yes, and I want you to help me get better at it, at least to be able to use it without having the need to weave hand signs." she looked straight in Aster's eyes with an expecting look.

Aster smiled and extended his hand and gestured for her to grab it, and the second she did they were standing beside Aster's ice clone which poofed into snowflakes on his arrival. They were currently in the VIP box of the stadium, while Moody-Crouch returned after placing the cup inside the maze and making sure that it was charmed into a portkey.

"Let's catch Crouch Jr. after we deal with the rigged game first," Aster spoke, making Amelia turn to him.

"Dear Merlin, when did you two get here and how did you get so near me silently?" Asked Amelia.

"Well, we just got here and for the silence, I picked it up from Ryu. Let's chat later, we have a Voldie to smack." Aster smiled and placed his hands on Amelia and Madoka's shoulders, the three silently vanished from there and appeared next to the portkey/tri-wizard cup.

They saw Cedric and Harry rushing to grab the portkey/tri-wizard cup, the young wizards stopped and looked at each-other to confirm that they were not having a hallucination or were trapped in some form of illusion.

"Welcome champions, you both now share the title of the Tri-Wizard Champion and as for the cup, this is currently a portkey, so we can't let you boys touch it. Let's walk back to the grounds, but before that... Aster waved his hands and the storms overhead were cleared and the maze turned into ice and dispersed into tiny snowflakes.

The audience roared at the sight of such brilliant use of magic, but the organizers on the other hand were sweating, as this was not something that was planned nor expected. Dumbles apparated to the group that was heading back to the stadium.

Seeing that Harry and Cedric were alright, he then looked at the young Amelia and her troublesome aide and his friend, just the recipe for chaos. He sighed, "could you explain your actions Amelia, and why is the Tri-wizard up floating behind you?"

"Albus, you are still being blind as ever, this is why you humans should refrain from stressing when you get older, the Moody you have is an Imposter and he turned the cup into a portkey, and before you ask, yes, it was a sting operation that we pulled without informing anyone because of the consequences it may cause due to any form of negligence or mistake." Aster chuckled.

"May I ask if your claims are verified, and if so, where is the real Alastor?" Albus asked after composing himself.

"The original is in the trunk of the imposter to keep as a source of freshly plucked hair for the poly juice potion. The man might be a bit cold and hungry, but he is most certainly alive, so could you help us nab the imposter and join us to meet a dear student of yours?" Aster smiled.

"Nah, too troublesome~ I will catch the impostor, you guys go and have fun." Madoka stretched her hands and walked off to the stadium.

The next thing that happened was Amelia placing her hand on Aster's shoulder and Aster holding the Cup and Albus in each hand to let the three of them get whisked away to the cemetery in Little Hangleton.

Amelia, who was already prepared for this, whisked her wand and shot a charged stunner at the surprised Pettigrew, who was caught unprepared and had dropped the babymort in his arms.

"Hello Tom, nice to meet you again." Aster smiled at the deformed baby-looking Dark Lord.

He touched the babymort and used transmutation to fix him a body, just as he should have been without the mutations from the numerous rituals he went through, his form returned back to the handsome prime of his late twenties.

Voldie was shocked to see this, while Albus had no idea what was trying to accomplish, he still managed to hold himself back without interrupting Aster. And a moment later the old wizard understood what Aster was about to do and sighed in relief.

Voldie who was busy admiring his body in the pane of crystal ice Aster made before him now looked at his wand that was lying beside the stupefied worm tail, he dove in and grasped the wand and pointed it at Aster and started with his maniac laugh. "The Dark Lord is back again, and the world shall bow to me."

But as he tried to channel his magic, he felt like he had been given a tight slap on his face to wake him up from his delusions, he had lost his magic, the body he was in had anchored his soul and he could not leave it, nor he could feel the fragments of his soul he left in the horcruxes.

The mere thought of becoming what he most detested, his eyes clouded with despair and madness. The Dark Lord Voldemort was a man without magic, he was not even a squib with the minuscule amounts of magic, but he was a normal human, as normal as they come, without a shred of magic or the capacity to connect to it or channel it in any form or manner.

"happy Birthday Tommy, do you like the present I gave you? I can assure you that your current form is at least at the supermodel class. You are welcome to enjoy it as you please after you answer for all your past and crimes." Aster chuckled.

"What have you done to me?" asked the man with a hoarse voice tinged with insanity.

"Just made you a nice body as a birthday present. I really wish to see the face of Lucius when he learns about this... do you think he will puke blood like the evil Chinese sect masters? Come on Albus, use that mark on Worm tail's arm to call his loyal subordinates. We have a show to stage." Aster smiled like a hellion that escaped the doors of hell.

----------------------------------

A/N: Some of you guys wanted to know a bit about the plot before choosing, so here it is...

1. Tokyo Ghoul: The group members will be joining the CCG without superpowers, but their physical skills remain the same, they find the truth behind the CCG and the Ghoul mess and fix a proper ending to the tragic tale.

2. Strike the Blood: The plot will be followed but with a nice bit of twisting and this time around there will be a lot of fun, cliche scenes that will make you smile and some character development.

3. Black Clover: Here, the guys will have to adjust to the power level of the world, for example, Aster will get an ice element grimoire while Madoka gets fire, Koro Sensei gets light, and then on... The guys will jump in the plot and work things over and deal with the mages, elves, kingdoms, and devils as they come.

4. The Blue Exorcist: The guys will join the exorcists and the Okamura Brothers and join in on the adventure. <Note. I am not killing Paladin Fujimoto.> The members will go normal and use the normal means as exorcists to fight.

Note: I am falling in the ranks, so I ask... What do you want to see in the story, tell me so that I can figure out what I am lacking, and how to make it better.
